v.1-11 <br />S. M. <br />Waiting for pardon and direction. <br /> <br />I Lift my soul to God, <br />My trust is in his name: <br />Let not my foes that seek my blood <br />Still triumph in my shame. <br /> <br />Sin, and the powers of hell, <br />Persuade me to despair: <br />Lord, make me know thy cov'nant well, <br />That I may 'scape the snare. <br /> <br />From the first dawning light <br />Till the dark ev'ning rise, <br />For thy salvation, Lord, I wait <br />With ever-longing eyes. <br /> <br />Remember all thy grace, <br />And lead me in thy truth; <br />Forgive the sins of riper days, <br />And follies of my youth. <br /> <br />The Lord is just and kind, <br />The meek shall learn his ways, <br />And every humble sinner find <br />The methods of his grace. <br /> <br />For his own goodness' sake <br />He saves my soul from shame: <br />He pardons, though my guilt be great, <br />Through my Redeemer's name.<br /><br />Isaac Watts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/psalm-25-part-1/
